  • Reply to: Architect presents radical new theory that Stonehenge was a two-storey, wooden feasting and performance hall   8 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Mike A.

    An interesting idea, would have been a helluva party-house!

    Looking at the model though, wouldn’t the massive weight from all of that timber have pushed the stones outward in the outer circle (no buttresses)?

    Just askin’.

    In light of voluminous evidence of larger than average humans from all over the world, I am afraid that I don't really understand how a topic like this can be so far outside of someone's comfort zone that they are motivated to formulate a disparaging post in response.

    I salute AO on their very even-handed examinations of archaeological discoveries which do not fit into the dreary little world of mainstream dogma.

    It was revealed to be a Total Fraud. I rather like that show but it is starting to look like to be almost Pseudo-history.

    World Catastrophe may have been responsible for isolating an established civilization's fragments in mountainous locales such as Armenia, the Pyrenees, the Drakensberg mountains of SA, and other like areas.
    I was surprised to learn the Etruscan origin was Armenia. With an original exodus of 45,000 y ago, this group may be the ad mixture to the Basque.

    Do they just build things without checking the location in England? They seem to keep putting playgrounds, parking spaces, etc. on top of important sites.

    Any nonsense will do, so long as the truth is avoided.

    Most all ancient construction was done by, 'small steps'. We like more modern day to do some like that as well, but we also today believe in something the ancients could not, 'leaps and bounds'.. And our science actually has this as a function. Leap and bound in ancient times, did not exist.. Perhaps the Leap and bound, tool; began with the greeks, ? OR there was a renaissance period, many centuries before the one we acknowledge today.. But when did that ancient renaissance begin and how long did that last ?Because it does seem, it was, lost to history also..
    Additionally, who was the first out of the ancient box thinker who began that first renaissance. ? Please reply, beyond curious here :)

    "...supplanting them with a foreign God" Foreign God...foreign labor...it's all good. Both get the job done just as effective.

    Comment Author: Giuseppe Miotti

    There is also an interesting passage in a Plutarch's (Πλούταρχος) 46 d.C./48 d.C. – 125 d.C./127 d.C. work. Moralia XII 61. “De facie quae in orbe lunae apparet”; section 26

    «...Almost before I had finished, Sulla broke in. "Hold on, Lamprias," he said, "and put to the wicket of your discourse lest you unwittingly run the myth aground, as it were, and confound my drama, which has a different setting and a different disposition.Well, I am but the actor of the piece, but first I shall say that its author began for our sake — if there be no objection — with a quotation from Homer:

    An isle, Ogygia, lies far out at sea,

    a run of five days off from Britain as you sail westward; and three other islands equally distant from it and from one another lie out from it in the general direction of the summer sunset. In one of these, according to the tale told by the natives, Cronus is confined by Zeus, and the antique Briareus, holding watch and ward over those islands and the sea that
    they call the Cronian main, has been settled close beside him.The great mainland, by which the great ocean is encircled, while not so far from the other islands, is about five thousand stades from Ogygia, the voyage being made by oar, for the main is slow to traverse and muddy as a result of the multitude of streams. The streams are discharged by the great land-mass and produce alluvial deposits, thus giving density and earthiness to the sea, which has been thought actually to be congealed. On the coast of the mainland Greeks dwell about a gulf which is not smaller than the Maeotis and the mouth of the Caspian sea. These people consider and call themselves continentals and the inhabitants of this land islanders because the sea flows around it on all sides; and they believe that with the peoples of Cronus there mingled at a later time those who arrived in the train of Heracles and were left behind by him and that these latter so to speak rekindled again to a strong, high flame the Hellenic spark there which was already being quenched and overcome by the tongue, the laws, and the manners of the barbarians. Therefore Heracles has the highest honours and Cronos the second.»

    The muddy sea seems to remember the mud covered ocean described by Plato in the Critias after the sunk of Altalntis «...when afterwards sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to any part of the ocean.»

    No conclusive proof - yet - either way.

    I find it interesting. A short-lived (unprofitable?) sort of trading post/exploration base is not outside the possible, even if low in probability.

  • Reply to: The Sumerian King List Reveals the Origin of Mesopotamian Kingship   8 years 3 months ago

    The Bible's account of the earth separating from the atmosphere is almost identical to science's. There are numerous stories from around the world, not just of Jewish/Christian origin, that specify the rainbow as a new, never before seen phenomenon having shown up immediately after the deluge. An ultra humid atmosphere would indeed have protected life from cosmic radiation, reasonably indicating longer life spans as constant bombardment from radiation is a distinct part of the aging process.
    To put this in perspective, imagine a large radioactive body impacting the earth, exploding and spreading its radioactivity over the entire surface. Those who survived the initial impact would likely still be able to breed but with the new planet wide radioactivity levels, lifespans would be significantly reduced. After thousands of years, the new shortened lifespan would be the norm and it would be difficult for people to accept that their ancestors were once something more than they are. Records, from the "before" time, would eventually be dismissed by those in power as myth and thus dismissed by the masses. People would, as we are today, be ridiculed for believing in magic and fairy tales. However, as science progresses, we are beginning to understand that not only are these magical feats possible but that it's probable that they actually happened.
    Back to the rainbow. There's an American Indian legend of the before time that tells of another people who had many large fires, fires larger than any that the ancient Indians ever had. Either the fires caused the flood or the flood was devised to extinguish the fires, I don't remember but as the waters rose, all people sought higher ground. A great chief eventually stretched a buffalo skin from mountain to mountain, protecting all under it from the water. As the waters receded, the skin dried and shrank until it was a thin band, stretching across the sky and had turned from white to all of the colors of the flowers. They understood this new development to be an indicator that this kind of destruction would never happen again.
    The atmosphere and/or solar output of today is evidently very different than it was then. We should expect that life is probably very different as well. Don't get me started on what we used to be before our current "perfected" version. Oh, and yes, the remaining giants have indeed gone underground. I could go on and on but won't. Enjoy your lives. I will enjoy mine.

    There are evidences of many other visitors here in North America prior to C Columbus. There are Runic markings in the South and Southwest along with Ogham markings along the East Coast that are way older. In New Mexico there are original or paleo-Hebrew texts of the Ten Commandments. In the Grand Canyon there are Egyptian hieroglyphics. These kind of things are glossed over as anything but real by academic types, but that is to be expected so as not to upset their paradigm of whatever they were told in school. Sooner or later, conventional wisdom (the Earth is flat) is replaced by facts (the Earth is spherical). Barry Fell has a book, "America B.C." that is good on his explanation of Ogham markings and Gloria Farley's book "In Plain Sight" covers Ogham as well as Runes in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and N Mexico.
